Stellar magnetic activity is an interesting phenomenon in late-type stars. We use the medium-resolution spectroscopic observations of 406069 late-type stars from LAMOST to...

In this paper, we analyse how to extract the physical properties from the GALANTE photometry of a stellar sample. We propose a direct comparison between the observational...

We make use of APOGEE and Gaia data to identify stars that are consistent with being born in the same association or star cluster as the Sun. We limit our analysis to stars that...

A line-depth ratio (LDR) of two spectral lines with different excitation potentials is expected to be correlated with the effective temperature (T_eff_). It is possible to...

We investigate the Fe, C, N, O, Mg, Al, Si, K, Ca, Ce, and Nd abundances of 2283 red giant stars in 31 globular clusters from high-resolution spectra observed in both the...

We present an extensive study of the Sagittarius II (Sgr II) stellar system using MegaCam g and i photometry, narrow-band, metallicity-sensitive calcium H&K doublet...

Globular clusters (GCs) are the most ancient stellar systems in the Milky Way. Therefore, they play a key role in the understanding of the early chemical and dynamical evolution...

Stellar population synthesis (SPS) models are invaluable to study star clusters and galaxies. They provide means to extract stellar masses, stellar ages, star formation...

We introduce the Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopy Survey (S^5^), an on-going program to map the kinematics and chemistry of stellar streams in the southern hemisphere. The...

We present the results of a 3-yr long, medium-resolution spectroscopic campaign aimed at identifying very metal-poor stars from candidates selected with the CaHK,...

We present and discuss the results of a search for extremely metal-poor stars based on photometry from data release DR1.1 of the SkyMapper imaging survey of the southern sky. In...

We present new observational data for the heavy elements molybdenum (Mo, Z=42) and ruthenium (Ru, Z=44) in F-, G-, and K-stars belonging to different substructures of the Milky...

We report the discovery of a Milky Way satellite in the constellation of Antlia. The Antlia 2 dwarf galaxy is located behind the Galactic disc at a latitude of b~11{deg} and...

Dwarf stars with debris discs and planets appear to be excellent laboratories to study the core accretion theory of planets formation. These systems are however, insufficiently...

Swan bands - characteristic molecular absorption features of the C2 molecule - are a spectroscopic signature of carbon-enhanced stars. They can also be used to identify...

We analyse radial stellar metallicity and kinematic profiles out to 1R_e_ in 244 CALIFA galaxies ranging from morphological type E to Sd, to study the evolutionary mechanisms of...

Combining stellar atmospheric parameters, such as effective temperature, surface gravity, and metallicity, with barycentric radial velocity data provides insight into the...

Present and future high-precision radial-velocity spectrometers dedicated to the discovery of low-mass planets orbiting low-mass dwarfs need to focus on the best selected stars...

We present multi-epoch, high-dispersion, optical spectra obtained with the Michigan/Magellan Fiber System of 126 and 125 Sun-like stars in the young clusters NGC 2516 (141Myr)...

The Pristine survey is a narrow-band, photometric survey focused around the wavelength region of the CaII H&K absorption lines, designed to efficiently search for extremely...
